Pages should be placed in the lowest level of the category tree that applies to them. Pages should never be placed in both the parent and child categories. They should not be placed in a category and any of the categories above it. This means if a page is placed in a category, it should not be placed in any of the parent categories of that category, or any parent categories of that category's parents, and so on, moving up the category tree. It may be placed in categories in different sections of the category tree, but not in those directly above it. </p> <dl><dt>Example 1</dt></dl> <p>While a <a href="/wiki/Trombone" title="Trombone">Trombone</a> is a <a href="/wiki/Musical_instrument" title="Musical instrument">musical instrument</a>, it is more specifically a <a href="/wiki/Brass_instrument" title="Brass instrument">brass instrument</a>. It is better to put the page <a href="/wiki/Trombone" title="Trombone">Trombone</a> into <a href="/wiki/Category:Brass_instruments" title="Category:Brass instruments">Category:Brass instruments</a> than into <a href="/wiki/Category:Musical_instruments" title="Category:Musical instruments">Category:Musical instruments</a>. </p><p>Because Category:Brass instruments is a sub-category of Category:Musical instruments, <a href="/wiki/Trombone" title="Trombone">Trombone</a> should not be put into both categories. If all the hundreds of types of musical instruments are put into the parent Category:Musical instruments, that category will get too full to be useful in helping users to find the pages they are looking for, which is the true purpose of the category system. It is easier for the user to browse Category:Musical instruments and see several sub-categories such as Category:Brass instruments, <a href="/wiki/Category:Woodwind_instruments" title="Category:Woodwind instruments">Category:Woodwind instruments</a>, etc. This lets the user select the one they want and browse the smaller number of pages listed there. It takes one more click, but less time than searching a very large category. </p> <dl><dt>Example 2</dt></dl> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Rocky_Mountains" title="Rocky Mountains">Rocky Mountains</a> are a group of <a href="/wiki/Mountain" title="Mountain">mountains</a> in <a href="/wiki/North_America" title="North America">North America</a>.

They are not placed in <a href="/wiki/Category:Mountains" title="Category:Mountains">Category:Mountains</a> because Category:Mountains of the United States and Category:Mountains of Canada are both sub-categories of Category:Mountains.

There should be a <b>minimum of three articles</b> that would fit into the category before a new category is started. Sub-categories should be considered when a category starts to get too large to easily find an article in it.

This could cause people to put the wrong articles in the category. <a href="/wiki/Category:Georgia_(country)" title="Category:Georgia (country)">Category:Georgia (country)</a> only has one meaning: the country in Europe. It is a better name for the category. </p><p>Naming conventions should also be followed when naming new categories. Similar categories should have similar names. This makes it easier to know which category to use and helps stop people from starting a new category that is the same as one that already exists. It is best to look at what categories you will be putting the new category into and see how other categories there are named. This should give you a basic idea of what form the name should be in. </p><p>There are several basic forms of names used in categories: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Form</th> <th>Example</th> <th>Uses </th></tr> <tr> <td>in <i>country</i></td> <td>Cities in Italy</td> <td><i>In</i> is used when dealing with things located in a location such as a country.

This makes it easier to locate a page in the category. Sorting of pages in a category is done by use of a <i>sort key</i>. A sort key is a term or phrase that is used to sort pages in categories. Pages are sorted <a href="/wiki/Alphabet" title="Alphabet">alpha-</a><a href="/wiki/Number" title="Number">numerically</a> by their sort key. If no sort key is used, the page name of the page is used as the default sort key. {{DEFAULTSORT:}} can be used to change the default sort key for the entire page. Sort keys may be given to each category tag individually. A sort key is added to a category by using a <i>pipe character</i> ( "|" ) followed by how the article should be sorted. All characters after the pipe character are used as part of the sort. This includes spaces and special characters. Categories are sorted first by special characters, then letters. </p> <dl><dt>Examples</dt></dl> <p>(Using an article named "River Thames") </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>wiki-code</th> <th>effect </th></tr> <tr> <td>[[Category:Rivers of England]] </td> <td>This category has no sort key so it would be sorted by its page title under the letter <i>R</i> - River Thames </td></tr> <tr> <td>[[Category:Rivers of England |Thames, River]] </td> <td>This article would be sorted under the letter <i>T</i> - Thames, River </td></tr> <tr> <td>{{DEFAULTSORT:Thames, River}}<br/>[[Category:Rivers of England]] </td> <td>The default sort key for the article is changed from its title, River Thames, to Thames, River. This causes the article to be sorted under <i>T</i>. </td></tr> <tr> <td><span class="nowrap">[[Category:Rivers of England |Thames, River]]</span><br/>[[Category:London]] </td> <td>Sort keys can be mixed on a page. Here, the article is placed under <i>T</i> in Category:Rivers of England and under <i>R</i> in Category:London. </td></tr> <tr> <td><span class="nowrap">{{DEFAULTSORT:Thames, River}}</span><br/>[[Category:Rivers of England]]<br/>[[Category:London |River Thames]] </td> <td>The default sort key for the article is changed from its title, River Thames, to Thames, River. Because Category:Rivers of England does not have a sort key, it uses the one given in the {{DEFAULTSORT}} and gets sorted under <i>T</i>. Category:London uses the sort key of the category tag and sorts it under <i>R</i>. </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Special_sorting" data-mw-thread-id="h-Special_sorting-Sorting"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Special_sorting-Sorting"></span>Special sorting<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Special_sorting-Sorting"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Categories&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section's source code: Special sorting"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Generally, pages are sorted by their title. There are cases when this is usually done. Most of these are when the first word of the title is not the most important thing in the title. Pages that start with the word <i>The</i>, the word <i>A</i>, or the word <i>An</i> (for example <i>The Doors</i>, <i>A Tale of Two Cities</i>, <i>An Inconvenient Truth</i>) should not be sorted by title. Another common case are lists, for example <i>List of German composers</i>. The sort key should be used to put either remove these words or place them at the end. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Page title</th> <th>Sort key </th></tr> <tr> <td width="50%">The Sound of Music</td> <td>Sound of Music, The </td></tr> <tr> <td>A Tale of Two Cities</td> <td>Tale of Two Cities, A </td></tr> <tr> <td>An Inconvenient Truth</td> <td>Inconvenient Truth, An </td></tr> <tr> <td>List of German composers</td> <td>German composers, List of </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Different ways of sorting are also used when the article name is a very common term in the category it is used in. For example, in <a href="/wiki/Category:Cities_in_the_United_States" title="Category:Cities in the United States">Category: Cities in the United States</a>, most of the subcategories have very similar names. There are many sub-categories that use the name <i>Cities in</i> and the name of the state. To make it easier to locate one subcategory quickly, the subcategories are listed by the name of the state rather than their title. This is also common in categories based on nationality. For example <a href="/wiki/Category:German_entertainers" title="Category:German entertainers">Category:German entertainers</a> is sorted in the <a href="/wiki/Category:German_people" title="Category:German people">Category:German people</a> under the sort key <i>Entertainers</i> because most of the other subcategories will also be using the term German in their title. </p> <dl><dt>Names of persons</dt></dl> <p>When dealing with articles on people, the article should be sorted by the person's family name. See <a href="#Sorting_of_people">Sorting of people</a> for more information. </p> <dl><dt>Special character sort keys</dt></dl> <p>In certain cases, articles are sorted using a sort key that is entirely different from their title. This is common when the article is either the main article for the category or defines the category in some way. For example, in <a href="/wiki/Category:U.S._states" title="Category:U.S. states">Category:U.S. states</a>, the article <a href="/wiki/U.S._state" title="U.S. state">U.S. state</a> is the main article. It defines what the category is about. The article <a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_U.S_states&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="List of U.S states (not yet started)">List of U.S states</a> would also define the category, but in a different way. These articles are sorted using special characters which make them be sorted at the top of the list articles in a category. Special character sort keys are used in the same way as regular sort keys. The special character is the first character used after the pipe character. Special character sort keys are sorted by the entire sort key. If more than one article in a category uses the special character, they are sorted together, but do not sort alphabetically unless the rest of the title is used in the sort key. For example, <code>[[Category:Rivers of England| ]]</code> is sorted with a sort key that is a Space bar character. If another page uses the same category tag, they are both sorted together, but may not be in alphabetic order. If <code>[[Category:Rivers of England|*River Thames]]</code> were used, the article would be sorted under the asterisk character and if any other articles were sorted under the asterisk in this same way (<code>[[Category:Rivers of England|*Rivers of London, List of]])</code> they would all be sorted under the asterisk and then sorted alphabetically by the rest of the sort key. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Character</th> <th>Use </th></tr> <tr> <td>Space</td> <td>The space character is the first character when sorted. This character is used for the main article. </td></tr> <tr> <td> <b>*</b></td> <td>The asterisk is used to help define the category. These are usually lists of articles that belong in the category. </td></tr> <tr> <td> <b>!</b></td> <td>The exclamation point is used for articles that are very important, but not defining the category. This character is rarely used. </td></tr> <tr> <td> <b>β</b></td> <td>Greek letter beta; used for Wikipedia books </td></tr> <tr> <td> <b>Σ</b></td> <td>Greek letter sigma; used for putting stub categories into other categories </td></tr> <tr> <td> <b>τ</b></td> <td>Greek letter tau (lower case); used for templates and template categories </td></tr></tbody></table> <dl><dt>Mixing sort keys</dt></dl> <p>More than one sort key may be used on a page. This is common when the page title is the correct way to sort for one category, but in other categories it needs to be sorted a different way. For example Category:German entertainers would be sorted as <i>Entertainers</i> in Category:German people, but be sorted as <i>German entertainers</i> in <a href="/wiki/Category:Entertainers" title="Category:Entertainers">Category:Entertainers</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Categorizing_people" data-mw-thread-id="h-Categorizing_people"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Categorizing_people"></span>Categorizing people<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Categorizing_people"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Categories&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section's source code: Categorizing people"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When categorizing people, it is usual to have at least four categories.

This is done by adding a <i>Sort key</i> to the category. For most people, their name is sorted as <i>Last name, First name</i>. In the example above, this would be Smuckateli, Joe. In this way, they are listed in the category <a href="/wiki/Alphabet" title="Alphabet">alphabetically</a> by their last name. This is done in one of two ways. </p> <dl><dt>Default sorting</dt></dl> <p>The tag <b>{{DEFAULTSORT:}}</b> can be used. It will give the same sort key to every category tag on the page that does not have a sort key of its own. To use the Default sort, the line {{DEFAULTSORT:<i>Sort key</i>}} is used. <i>Sort key</i> is replaced with how the articles is to be sorted. For example {{DEFAULTSORT:Smuckateli, Joe}}. </p> <dl><dt>Individual sorting</dt></dl> <p>Each category tag may be given its own sort key. This is done by adding a <i>pipe character</i> ( "<b>|</b>" ) and then information after the category name. For example [[Category:German musicians |Smuckateli, Joe]] [[Category:Wikipedia]]. If a space is used after the pipe character, the category will be sorted using that space. This will place the article at the top of list in the category. This should not be done with people articles. </p> <dl><dt>Other cases</dt></dl> <p>If no sort key is used, the article will be sorted using its title. People whose articles only have one name (<a href="/wiki/Madonna" title="Madonna">Madonna</a>), or if the article title is how it should be sorted (<a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom">Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom</a>) do not need to have a sort key used. </p><p>Articles about people with <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Asian" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Asian">eastern Asian</a> names need extra attention when sorting. Many eastern Asian names have the <a href="/wiki/Surname" class="mw-redirect" title="Surname">surname</a> or <a href="/wiki/Family_name" title="Family name">family name</a> first and the <a href="/wiki/Given_name" title="Given name">given name</a> second. These names do not need to be sorted because when they are sorted by the article title, they are being sorted by the surname. This is not always true, some Asian people use a Western style of naming and need to have their names sorted. </p><p>See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SUR" class="extiw" title="en:WP:SUR">en:WP:SUR</a> for other special cases. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Template_BD" data-mw-thread-id="h-Template_BD-Categorizing_people"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Template_BD-Categorizing_people"></span>Template BD<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Template_BD-Categorizing_people"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Categories&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section's source code: Template BD"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The template <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:BD" title="Template:BD">BD</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> (<b>B</b>orn/<b>D</b>ied) is useful for dealing with categories for birth and death.
